I don't buy into a 24-hour day. That's
an archaic time frame. You and I live in
an age where a 100 years ago, if I
wanted to get something done, I'd have
to write it down somewhere, stick a
stamp on it, or put it on the back of a
horse a few hundred years ago, and you'd
get it in a month, and then you'd
translate to get it back to me in a
month. Now, I can text you in 3 seconds,
but we're both going to manage time in
24 hours. When I was in school, I had to
go to a library to research something in
in a thing called an encyclopedia and
then write it all down, type it on a
typewriter. If you make one key mistake,
you got to redo it. Now, I can Google
it, print it out, and it's done. Yet,
the same time frames are managed. And
so, that's insane, right? I can email, I
can text, I have got all these things on
my phone. So, we're still operating the
same time construct people did 50 years
ago, 100 years ago, 200 years ago. That
is insane. So, I have a huge advantage
in my life that my days are many days. I
have three 8 hour days in a day. I get
21 days in a week. 21 days in a week.
And so, my first day is 6:00 a.m. to
noon. It's your expectation of time.
Here's the thing. When something is
scarce, it's more valuable. Okay? So,
that's why a diamond is worth more than
a piece of paper because it's more
scarce. When your time becomes more
scarce, it becomes more valuable and
other people treat you with more value.
So, that's one benefit. But my first day
is 6:00 a.m. to noon. in there. I'm
trying to get in there the amount of
productivity, joy, business, fitness,
whatever it might be that I would get in
a 24-hour day compressed and manipulated
that time into to the 8 hour window.
Why? Because of all the technology at my
advantage. Now, there may be some days
that's a Netflix and chill day for me.
I'm not saying you have to be
hyperproductive. And so, the second day
starts at noon. And in that second day,
I'm trying to get the same amount of
stuff I would get in 24-hour day in my 6
to 8 hour window. There's 6 am to noon,
noon to 6 pm, and 6 pm to midnight. Now,
I'm going to sleep in there. I'm gonna
get rest. I'm gonna have laughter. I'm
gonna have faith. But now, what happens
is at about noon every day, this thing
goes off in my head, and I evaluate what
did I get done? What do I need to double
my efforts on? What can I celebrate?
What did I learn? So, when an average
person does it at the end of their day,
I'm doing it at noon. And then I'll run
it again. And so, I'm getting 21 days a
week. You stack that time frame up over
a year. when you get 7 days and I'm
managing time this way. I've compressed
and bent time, I'm probably going to
win. You stack that up over a year, 5
years, 10 years, and all of a sudden
I've had all these more days. And here's
the other thing, I just get a longer
life. I'm getting multiple lives in one
life simply because I've taken control
of what time looks like. So, they used
to be 8 hour days. They're now 6-hour
days. And so, I've get more done oftent
times by 10:00 a.m. than most people
will get done in a 24-hour day. You were
born to do something great with your
life. And when you were a little boy or
a little girl, there was probably one
person who made you feel that way. And
you ought to give yourself the gifts
right now of who is that person. When
you were a little girl or a little boy,
they made you feel special. And there's
probably only one, maybe two. Maybe it
was your parents or your grandmother, a
grandfather, a coach, a a religious
figure. There's someone that was in your
life and that you felt something about
you because of the way they looked at
you or spoke to you. And the amazing
thing about that is they were right
about you. They were right. You're
supposed to do something great with your
life. And the reason it makes you
emotional when you think about it now is
because it's true. And truth vibrates at
the highest frequency. So if you're
listening to this or watching, it's like
have that reminder. Give yourself the
gift. Honor them with who you become.
Honor them with the life you build.
Honor them with the choices you make.
And take that belief and use it as fuel
in your life to have some strength and
confidence to shift other people's
lives. Listen, there's a pace and a
rhythm to success. Here's something no
one talks about when it comes to success
and being productive. There's a rhythm
and a cadence to it. It's an invisible
thing that the people that are winning
somehow have found themselves. It's hard
to express, but they found a rhythm and
a cadence to their life that creates
momentum in their life. Momentum is a
major magnifier in life. When you get
momentum, but there's a rhythm to it.
And when you sort of aren't disciplined
with your time and a meeting runs over
10 minutes or 20 minutes, you are not in
the rhythm of success. There's a pace.
It's not hurried or rushed, but it's a
little quicker than most people know.
Successful people walk a little faster.
They're in a little bit more of a hurry.
They talk a little faster. There's a
rhythm and a pace and a intensity, a
passion to the dialogue and the
conversation. And it's invisible. And
until you find that, you're not really
in the rhythm of hyperproductivity or
bliss or success. When you're around
people that possess that rhythm, you
feel it. Too many people schedule 1-hour
long meetings. If we're going to be
tactical, most meetings don't need to be
an hour, but we schedule them an hour
because everybody's always done that. So
my team knows, is this a 28 minute
meeting? Is this a 5minute meeting? Very
rarely are they hourong meetings cuz
when you have an hourong meeting now
you're pacing yourself to fill the hour
in. But I've only got a 6-hour day here.
So there's a lot of 28 minute long
meetings that other people are taking an
hour to do. We're just that much more
productive, that much more efficient in
our time. And so that's how you actually
get the day done is because this 1 hour
concept, isn't it? You think, "I'll meet
you at 9:00. I got 9 to 10 blocked off."
Well, why? Most meetings don't need to
be an hour long. Most business meetings
don't. Most conversations don't. And
that, by the way, will give me more
time. Maybe my lunch is now an hour and
a half with a friend because I've bent a
manipulated time in my I call them mini
days. And it's also eventually what I've
found is, like I said earlier, people
now respect my time a little bit more.
You can create your own version of a
mini day. Maybe you're going to have
two. Maybe you're going to break your
day into two. You know, me it was 8
hours and I've moved it to six and I
felt no difference. But I love that time
clock. There's not enough time. Most
people evaluate their goals like really
productive people, they'll do it at the
end of a day. In the middle, maybe the
end of a month. How did my January go?
And you know this, most people, it's the
end of the year. So most people's a
year. Some will do it a month. Really
productive people maybe the end of the
day. I'm doing that three times in a
24-hour day now. The breakthroughs, the
learning, the course correction, the
strategic moves I make that get me back
on track when I'm off track. And my bad
days are only 6 hours long. So I that
gives me permission to shift at noon.
Okay, this is a new day. I get a doover.
I get to start again. So it's just a
matter of using a time construct that
fits with technology in these times. By
the way, there are sometimes my friends,
I need to go deep and we need three or
four or five hours. But I also I know
there's a lot of times in life like you
ever have that friend that doesn't know
when the text exchanges done. You know
that person you're like it's over now.
We're both going to go now text other
people or do other things. I was in a
meeting a long time ago with Alex
Rodriguez and uh I'll never forget he's
such he's a gracious dude. He's a good
dude. But our meeting was supposed to
end at 1:00 in the afternoon. And I
remember at about uh 12:58 he looked at
his watch and that gave me a cue and at
1:00 he just stood up kind of in the
middle of the meeting and that signified
the meeting was over. And it wasn't
rude. His team just knows when the
meeting time's up, we're done. That's
how long it is. And setting up those
kind of disciplines and kind of barriers
around your life, guard rails around
your life protects your time. The higher
you climb, there's all this other
stimulus happening in your life, right?
So if you don't create those constructs
now, when you get to a point where like
you get the things you want in your
life, the demands on your energy and
time only increase. I've watched a lot
of people climb to a point and when they
get to that point, they didn't create
new structures around them to support
the next level. Every level you climb
requires a different type of energy and
structure. And I've watched a lot of
people get to a place and then they
can't navigate that next level because
of the structure, maybe the lack of a
team around them, quality people,
management of those things. What most
people think is, I'm going to produce
this thing and then when I get there,
I'll figure it out from there. That
stagnates your growth. You've got to be
preparing and expecting that growth and
creating the structures around you to
